I just had what the Doc termed a soft wart removed.
The practise runs a monthly Cryo clinic .... so booked in, and it took of a minute ... he just sprayed on some liquid Nitrogen ... wart died and fell off a few days, free, simple & painless. |

The flat red area kind that are really a lot of tiny dots that slowly spread out and are only suitable for proper surgical removal. Any more? Roger |
